General
By choosing Captair Smart ductless ltration fume hoods, you have chosen an efcient and responsible way to
ensure safety.
Erlab’s 45 years of expertise in the eld of laboratory fume hoods provide unparalleled ltration quality to ensure your
users are properly protected when handling chemicals in the laboratory. The new Captair Smart range uses an innovative
and straightforward mode of communication called Smart technology. This powerful interface uses light to intuitively and
effortlessly communicate with users and leave them free to focus all their attention on the main task: handling the chemicals.
Your ductless Captair Smart ltration fume hood guarantees that you are protected when working with chemicals that pose
an inhalation risk. The Erlab ltration technology it employs traps hazardous particles and molecules and returns clean air
back into the laboratory.
The system’s connectivity allows for real-time safety alerts and individual device usage reports to be sent via the e-Guard
App.
Safety notices
The effectiveness of your device is directly dependent upon it being used correctly and monitored by its users. Your
laboratory may also benet from ergonomic, economic and ecological advantages provided by the Captair Smart fume hood
throughout its life cycle.
The E.S.P. program (Erlab Safety Program) was set up to guarantee your safety. We would remind you that it is important
to have the safety parameters validated before using the device for the rst time and whenever it is used for a different
application.
The handling of substances that are carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic for reproduction (CMRs) underneath a fume hood is
covered by the French Labour Code. The code notably species that an in-depth risk analysis must be carried out prior to
any CMRs being handled under a recirculating fume hood.
The equipment provided is not intended to be used in an explosive atmosphere.
The lters delivered with this device must be removed from their packaging and positioned correctly; they must also be
suitable for the type of chemicals being handled in order to guarantee user safety.
Erlab recommends that lter breakthrough tests are regularly carried out.
Erlab recommends that the electronic anemometer is calibrated at least once a year.
The quantities of the chemicals handled in the enclosure should not be greater than those listed in the guide to approved
chemicals (the Chemical Listing).
AFNOR standard NF X 15-211: 2009 only applies to chemicals subject to an OEL.
Pursuant to the NF X 15-211 standard, only operations that can immediately be stopped are allowed to be carried out in a
Class 2 enclosure. Moreover, the fume hood’s lter must be replaced if any chemicals are detected downstream of the lter.
New lters must be stored in their packaging, kept in a dry location and laid at. (see recommendations for storing and using
the lters).
Erlab recommends keeping a logbook which is specic to the device and shows the chemical agents handled, how often
they are used and the maintenance operations carried out on it.
